It's going to depend a lot on what industry you're in. I work in hospitality management in NYC so there's little need to outsource for recruitment. The demand for jobs in the industry keeps prospective employees within arms length at all times. However, If you are working in a technical trade or are trying to fill an executive position then I would definitely advise seeing professional assistance. You can't be too careful when filling positions that will determine the success of your company.

I've never had to, or more accurately, I've never had the means to, but if I had the chance and it was within my price range, I would definitely consider it. My reasoning behind it is that a good or a great employee would truly be priceless, and acquiring such a trustworthy and capable employee would ultimately result in profit anyway, so it would be worth whatever extra expense I would spend in finding him or her. The only differentiating factor I'd consider in choosing otherwise would probably be if I thought there was plenty of choice workers surrounding my area and I didn't need to venture out, but if there was a special position that I would deem essential and would not want to risk with a less capable potential employee, then I'd definitely get a headhunter if I could.

There are advantages and disadvantages in using a head hunter. One advantage is that you get to save time in recruitment and you're able to focus on the core elements of your business. One disadvantage, however, is that there are a lot of head hunters right now who are not really experts in their fields. In other words, it may even be more useful to do the search on your own and you may even know more people in the industry than they do. So it's very important to work with the right company.

I wouldn’t use one, I need a new employee may be once a year and I prefer to interview and choose them by myself. Once you have some routine or plan to follow, it is not so difficult. Also I am very strict about the background checks due to some previous troubles and I always always use background-intel.com because it’s the only online site I actually trust.

With an online Recruitment Agency, this guarantees extensive screening of applicants. Making sure that your applicants are fit and suitable for your job post. Nonetheless, we also make it a point the both the recruiter and the client/employer understands what kind of position is actually needed for the role. At Remote Staff, we provide you services from recruitment, to hiring, to close monitoring and even payroll of your Remote Staff employees.

Initially, these employees are considered as Sub-contractors, giving you the freedom from any government/labor obligations. Except for that of issuing the payout. We at Remote Staff closely monitors the time in & out of staff, timesheet, leaves, absences, etc.

The only disadvantage this can bring you is the lack of personal interaction. Since all correspondences and transactions are done virtually, there is an absence in the face to face interaction. However, this can somehow be considered as an advantage on the business side as this provides a more professional work ethics between the employer and the remote staff.
